Prosecutors say he made a fake distress call over Alabama in January. They say he engaged the autopilot and parachuted out, hoping the plane would crash in the Gulf of Mexico and make it appear he had died. He retrieved a stashed motorcycle and sped toward Florida.

But the plane ran out of fuel and crashed short of the Gulf. When no body was found, the search for Schrenker began. U.S. marshals caught him days later at a Panhandle campground.

Schrenker still faces Indiana charges related to his financial dealings
